White Paper

Get our "Designing Drives for a Competitive Edge" white paper and learn how two field retrofits led to better performing, more competitive drive designs by converting to Gates Poly Chain® GT® synchronous belt drive systems. One bottling facility saved $330,000 per year, while another manufacturing plant cut downtime, maintenance, and costs substantially.

Heavy-Duty V-Belts

Nearly 100 years ago Gates invented the V-belt, constructed with flex-bonded tensile cords, to outperform and outlast competitive products. V-belt offerings include Micro-V® Belts, Super® HC Belts, and Predator® V-Belts, which hold up in demanding environments and applications, such as oilfield, lumber mills, and rock crushers.

Light-Duty V-Belts

Suitable for all industrial light-duty applications, these belts mostly use fractional horsepower (FH) motors and provide high-performance construction for more horsepower, less stretch, and longer service life, and include PoweRated® V-Belts, Truflex® V-Belts, and Polyflex® Belts.

Gates Specialty Belts

Gates offers premium synchronous belts and V-belts specially designed for equipment and machines in a wide range of environments, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and fitness equipment—and can even be found inside Redbox® machines. Specialty belts include Micro-V® Belts, PowerGrip® GT® Twin Power® Belts, PosiClean® Belts, and Synchro-Power® Polyurethane Belts. Talk to us about available sizes, constructions, and tooth profiles, and we'll help you find the right custom solution for your application.

Made-to-Order Metals

When standard products won't work, Gates made-to-order metals are the perfect solution for your power transmission or belt drive applications. Our designers specialize in providing custom and one-off manufacturing for prototype and production pulleys, sheaves, and sprockets in a variety of bores, styles, materials, and finishes. No order is too small. Same-day delivery is available on select parts.
